자주 하는 실수：
Learners often confuse "legislator" with "legislature" and "legislation". A "legislator" is a person. The "legislature" is the group or body of people who make laws. "Legislation" means the laws themselves or the process of making laws. For example: "The legislators voted" (people), "The legislature voted" (the body), "New legislation was passed" (the law).
